Chipola College Phi Beta Lambda Wins First In Nation

Category: News
The Chipola team won $750 along with trophies and medallions from the National Association of Parliamentarians.

Saturday August 18th, 2012

SAN ANTONIO—The Chipola College team of James Lewis, Katrina Messer, Joe Lewis and Stefanie Jackson won first place in the nation in Parliamentary Procedure at the recent Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) National Leadership Conference in San Antonio. In addition to excelling on the parliamentary team, James Lewis also captured first place in Sports Management and Marketing.

More than 1,700 of America’s best and brightest college students showcased their talents as future business leaders and vied for the opportunity to win over $54,000 in cash awards.

Teams competing in the parliamentary event complete an objective exam on procedures and PBL bylaws. The 15 teams with the highest average score on the exam advance to the performance level. Judges for the performance event were members of the National Association of Parliamentarians. Chipola’s first place team members are students in Chipola’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program with the exception of Joe Lewis, who plans to enter the Chipola nursing program in the fall.

Chipola student James Lewis also captured first place in Sports Management and Marketing. He received a $500 cash award. This event includes an objective exam covering law and sports, human resources, marketing, labor relations, sports licensing, ethics, risk management and sports management history.

The awards were part of a comprehensive national competitive events program sponsored by FBLA-PBL that recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. Vikki Milton, Chipola PBL adviser said, “For many students, the competitive events at the national level are the capstone activity of their academic careers. In addition to the competitions, students immerse themselves in educational workshops and attend motivational keynotes on a broad range of business topics. We took an impressive group of 10 Chipola students to the national conference. Each and every student reaped rewards.” Chipola students Devon Beachum, Barbara Wynn, Nacole Thomas, Jeff Pitts, Jordan Hatcher and Cathy Riddle also attended the convention.

RESTON, VA— Ted Harshbarger, an athletics administrator at Peru State College in Nebraska, has been elected to the Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) Board of Directors for a three-year term.

Harshbarger began his involvement in the association in 1974 as a PBL member at Peru State College. Since then, he has served the organization actively in numerous capacities including his current role as the Nebraska PBL State Adviser, a position he’s held since 1997. He also served on the FBLA-PBL National Awards Committee for nine consecutive years, and was the Colorado FBLA-PBL State Adviser from 1987-1989.

Harshbarger has received several state honors for growing membership in the Mountain Plains Region during his tenure as state adviser in both Nebraska and Colorado. He was adviser to nine national student officers, and was inducted into the National FBLA-PBL Adviser Wall of Fame in 2003.

“Ted has been an enthusiastic champion for FBLA-PBL in Nebraska and Colorado, and has served our organization well,” said Jean M. Buckley, FBLA-PBL president and CEO. “His expertise will be a tremendous asset to FBLA-PBL.”

Category: News
Jake Barreau, a double-major marketing and Spanish student at University of Wisconsin-Madison, will serve on the national board of directors of Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL).

Barreau was elected by his peers to serve as PBL National President during the FBLA-PBL National Leadership Conference, held June 23-26 in Orlando, Florida. As PBL National President, his seat on the national board is for a one-year term.

“The national board depends on the fresh voices of our national officers each year,” said Jean M. Buckley, FBLA-PBL president and CEO. “Jake has an impressive track record in FBLA-PBL. He served as a state officer of Wisconsin PBL for two consecutive terms from the 2009-11 and was instrumental in creating new programs to help PBL members realize higher achievements. We look forward to Jake’s input on the national board as we continue to grow our organization.”

Barreau has been involved with FBLA-PBL since his freshmen year in high school, during which time he attended six National Leadership Conferences and placed at Nationals eight times. He served as the 2010-2011 North Central Region Vice President and the 2009-2010 PBL National Parliamentarian.

Apart from his academic and leadership career, Barreau is also an avid athlete. He is the youngest high school varsity volleyball coach in the state and plays on the University of Wisconsin men’s club volleyball team. After graduation from UW-Madison and upon completion of his term as national president, Barreau hopes to continue working with nonprofit and career and technical student organizations.
